1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm neonates, necessitating early and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of transcranial ultrasound (TUS) in 168 preterm neonates with clinical features of HIE. Significant ultrasound findings-such as intraventricular hemorrhage, ventriculomegaly, multicystic leukomalacia and abnormal Doppler indices-showed strong correlations with severe SARNAT stages. The combined parameters demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, with a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 82.4%. TUS proves to be an effective, accessible tool for early detection and prognostication of HIE in preterm neonates.
